I Schlep You Schlep We Schlep

Who knew that our most important vocab word this week wouldn't be in French or Creole but in Yiddish!  John started describing our wall building task as "schlepping" at the beginning of the week, and it's the accurate term for what we're doing!  A whole mountain of cinderblock has now been schlepped and the wall has been two thirds built.  Meanwhile we've been schlepping bags of cement and buckets of mortar.  Tomorrow we may be schlepping the small boulders they'll use to form the foundation for the remaining 75 feet of wall to be built on the other side of the driveway.  They're very meticulous and I think the final result will be excellent!

I did a bit of shoveling but let him use the pick!
